I had my hearing test & it was normal, I was surprised because during much of the test, I couldn't tell the difference between the high pitched tones the audiologist used for testing and the tinnitis whine! The ENT said my hearing was on high end of normal. They checked my eustachian tubes & pressure & said that they are in normal limits.
Soooo, in about a month, I am going for a diagnostic test to check for acoustic neuroma (tumors or growth at the brain stem). I do not think I have that, but they have to be sure to rule it out just in case. The test will not hurt, all I'll need to do is lie back & relax.
In the meantime, my ENT wants me to pop my ears 3 times after each meal. I don't think meals have anything to do with it, but that's just a way I can remember to pop my ears 3x at a time, 3x a day.
"Pop my ears?" How do you do that? I know how to pop my ears when they are clogged due to a cold or airplane travel but my ears don't feel clogged, just noisy.
